Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Even Pete Doherty stoops to making records from time to time, and Shotter’s Nation might be the best chance he’ll ever have to convince the wider public that there’s more to him than his role as Britain’s favourite comedy junkie. Finally given a major label budget and a big-name producer, the eternally erratic Doherty can show that he didn’t peak with the Libertines' early singles. Babyshambles’ murky sounding debut Down in Albion was patchy but had its moments, but thankfully the present line-up, bolstered by veteran guitarist Mick Whitnall, sound focussed throughout, with producer Stephen Street absolutely nailing a classic if dated Brit rock sound. Doherty’s chaotic existence certainly generates plenty of material and what used to be called side one is cracking. "Carry on up the Morning", the punchy if mawkish hit single "Delivery" and the catchy "UnBiloTitled", a pretty song about seedy lives, are powerful and compelling. "Crumb Begging Baghead" is lyrically pitiful yet insistently memorable and "Unstookie Titled" appears to offer some unexpected self-awareness. The second half of the record is less strong, though veteran acoustic guitarist Bert Jansch appears on the maudlin closer ‘Lost Art of Murder’ and the junkie business of ‘There She Goes’ is amusingly sleazy if musically slight.

Doherty is an unusual star, living a life no one could aspire to, and in his defence, he never glamorises it. But if fame is a state where one’s life is beyond one’s control, then it’s no surprise that a junkie should take to it so naturally. Shotter's Nation almost justifies his status. --Steve Jelbert



CD Description

Babyshambles' first full length release since signing to Parlophone is the follow-up to their 2005 debut 'Down In Albion'. Produced by Stephen Street (Blur, Kaiser Chiefs) and recorded in London, the album marks a return to form for Doherty, while maintaining the band's trademark ramshackle overallsound. A primarily upbeat collection of post-punk gems, 'Shotter's Nation' is a more focused work than its predecessor,and is a signal of a band finally realising their potential. Includes the single 'Delivery.'

5.0 out of 5 stars He was stronger than the walls that they tried to build around him, 15 Oct 2007
By Sina Fazelpour (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In first few listens I found this album more accessible compared to "Down in Albion", even more commercial. And it wasn't something that I necessarily enjoyed at the time. But after spending weeks in my stereo, being more accessible doesn't seem too bad now, at least in the case of this record. The music is definitely more polished yet carefully constructed. There's less new experimentation but more influences from previously successful experiments of previous bands specially those of 60s MOD culture, and songwriting seems more of a group effort rather than the mainly solo effort of Pete Doherty in "Down in Albion". In lyrical terms, the presence of symbolist and romantic poets influence is still felt, in almost all of the songs and it still has (maybe even more) its touch of black humor to it, which is wonderful. But again Pete's lyrics seem more mature, with more brilliant moments and lines.

Another change compared to "Down in Albion" is the number tracks which is considerably less. And in my mind it helps significantly in giving this record a more consistent sound (I enjoyed most of the tracks from "Down in Albion", but still feel they could have took out 4,5 of them off the album and released them on EPs for instance).

At the end, I should also mention the DVD where the band talks about their influences on each song and stories behind them, which is very entertaining and gives new insight to the record. Also live performances of some of the songs.

Overall, I really recommend this album (SPECIALLY with its DVD) to any rock music fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's life in this French Dog yet, 29 Sep 2007
This was certainly better than I expected, when you read in magazines that the album is more mature, and better produced you don't know what to think. The thing is... Shotter's Nation is a very refined version of the Babyshambles formula with a more collaborative feel and a much improved production.
While still retaining the fun; it feels more grown up, generally less messy if you follow my meaning. (With the possible exception of the speed up/slow down 'Side of the Road.')
The album overall is softer, slower and more poetic; For Example both 'Un...Titled Songs,' and 'French Dog Blues,' which have an electric gentleness.
One thought is that there is perhaps less energy than on 'Down in Albion,' but this offset by the 'proper album feel,' and a classic style that makes this album feel familiar on first listen; almost as if it had came out in the 90's.
In my opinion the best thing about this album is the lack of the Ska/Regaee Style the band sometimes play; however there is a brilliant 'Love cats style,' version of 'There She Goes A.L.H.'
The best songs are 'Baddies Boogie(Zombie)' and 'Unstookie Titled.'
BUY THIS NOW, IN FACT BUY 4 COPPIES!
